"Thank you ! Did we all read "Giovanni's Room" when we were teens ... and were slightly baffled and taken ?? Now I'm curious .. about this movie" - Martin

"We don’t deserve something this beautiful in 2018..." - Margaret

"I thought it was a terrific, lovely film but with some flaws. I don't think the voiceovers work well in the film and nor was it necessary since the film was already so infused with Baldwin's voice. " - Raul

Another day, another set of honors to parse. The nominations were announced by Olivia Munn and Niecy Nash this morning. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri and Big Little Lies led the honors with 4 nominations each. Generally speaking the SAG lineups indicate you have a great shot at also becoming an Oscar nominee, if not a locked shot, so the nominees this morning have a lot to be excited about. SAGs nominations for TV are less relevant in terms of awards prospects since they don't divvy up the categories in quite the same way as the Emmys, nor is their timetable the same.

Time to rethink the Best Actor predictions though I firmly do not believe or expect that this exact lineup will transfer to Oscar. Waiting in the wings to surprise on nomination morning? I still believe either Tom Hanks in The Post or Jake Gyllenhaal in Stronger could knock one of these men out.

In something of a shocker given Streep's usual ease at winning nomination she's absent from Best Actress here (and SAG definitely saw The Post. The movie was carting out the big names for those screenings). As we've long suspected Judi Dench is still a formidable threat for an Oscar nod for reprising a role that many thought she might win for the first time (Her Majesty Mrs Brown in 1997). Will the two default contenders cancel each other out? And if so does a feisty dark horse like Annette Bening or Jessica Chastain slip in. Or will Dench and Streep both make it displaying one of the other four here? SOUND OFF.

In perhaps the most surprising category, it was Three Billboards and not Call Me By Your Name that scored a double Supporting Actor nod. Carell's Battle of the Sexes part is the real surprise here but it is comic and scenery chewing and SAG likes that even more than Oscar does. Since this list is markedly different than the Globes what happens with Oscar? We'll have to update all these charts.

Hong Chau has come up from behind in the precursors despite apparently dwindling support for her film. That's quite a feat for a non-celebrity actor. She's terrific in Downsizing so it's a fun turn of events. But it apparently came at the expense of Tiffany Haddish for Girl's Trip who also missed the Globe nomination or Octavia Spencer who missed here for The Shape of Water but was Globe nominated. If they both show up on Oscar nomination morning one of the usual suspects will have to fall away. Supporting Actress is getting crazy crowded, isn't it!?

The shocker is the lack of a nod for The Post (though I'm personally okay with it since it's not a particularly ravishing display of ensemble potency -- the way say Get Out or Lady Bird are here -- but rather just a huge collection of stars doing good work together. That said, SAG usually cares more about those "big collection of stars" movies and considers those "Outstanding Performances by a Cast" so it is perplexing. What happened?

Seriously what is with their Uzo Aduba obsession? She's in one of the richest casts TV has ever assembled and she's the only one from it that's ever so honored despite not even being the best performance on the show. Justice for Danielle Brooks who has been running circles around Aduba for at least a couple of the show's seasons.

I was really surprised at the lack of love for Twin Peaks at the Globes and will be thrown if there's no mention for its cast at SAG. Of course Kyle did get the nom at the Globes, and Laura Dern in BLL is clearly the more accessible choice, but I remain bummed. Laura's Diane was everything.

I strongly suspect THE POST didn't screen in time (or have screeners out there in time). Remember, SAG are *early* voters. Even earlier than bodies that have already announced, if I remember correctly.

That awkward moment when you see Margot Robbie ("I, TONYA") and Judi Dench ("VICTORIA AND ABDUL") and you scream: "WHERE ARE CHASTAIN AND MERYL?!!!".And then you see Washington ("ROMAN ISRAEL, ESQ.") and Kaluuya ("GET OUT") and you scream: "WHERE ARE GYLLENHAAL AND DANIEL DAY-LEWIS?".And finally you just ask yourself why the f**k is Steve Carell nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "BATTLE OF THE SEXES" when there are so many supporting male performances this year and Stone missed a Best Leading Actress nod..End of the story

It's a very competitive year if Denzel Washington is the WTF nominee.Call Me By Your Name is my favorite film of the year so far, but I think its weakness (the age difference between Elio and Oliver) is making folks uncomfortable even more so this year. This discomfort may spare Chalamet but it will probably cost it some nominations.

Except for Allison Brie, I'm pissed about the female noms in TV Comedy. I love Jane and Lily--they are legends--but to be honest, other ladies in comedy right now (Pamela Adlon, Issa Rae, Michaela Coel, Rachel Bloom, etc., etc.,) are KILLING it AND they are writing and producing their own stuff. Plus, I'm still angry that Amy Poehler never won for Parks and Rec.

And Uzo and Julia again? Lazy.

I also think Millie is the new Uzo for all that is Stranger Things, cuz those boys (Wolfhard and Schnapp in particular) are pretty damn good too, maybe even better. Glad to see they all got an Ensemble nod.

Also at the GG Salma Hayek was conpeting in Drama category according to reports. So it's not "surprise" the Steve Carell supporting placement. Lol

I'm not surprised for DDL snub (They don't like PTA a lot and their taste is too basic) but lol to The Post snubs. Chau is still on risk but she can say to be closer of the nom. Haddish can blame the disastrous Universal campaign.

Also, no only Gyllenhaal is dead on the race (There's no way he can make it now) also Stuhlbarg (Terrible but I guess CMBYN can be another Carol)

Does SAG snub Streep or did screeners not reach the voting body on time? I am thinking the latter. A lot of early realeases here that have sort have already lost their heat? No The Post at all? All the ends do the world? phantom Thread? molly’s game? What an interesting SAG awards show his will be rewarding all the old movies while the new ones are out in theatres making noise and having just be awarded at the Globes. Has the SAG awards proven their irrelevancy this year?Oscar predictions will be a mess this year because there is no way that these are anything close to he final Oscar nominations.Now I also believe that if anyone can survive a SAG snub, it will be The Post and Meryl.

Ryan T. - Great for the men of Lady Bird. They are so good in both their movies this year. But it has me wondering, how did Lucas not manage to work his way into any supporting actor conversations? He was one the MVPs (and most sympathetic characters) in Lady Bird, is a recent Oscar nominee, AND has a biggish role in another movie with Best Picture heat.

I also would be shocked if the Oscars snubbed Spielberg, Streep, Hanks, etc. it would be like Hollywood saying we don’t care about free speech or cinema icons. I am also surprised SAG did not nominate DDL for his last role. Harsh

Denzel isn't a WTF nominee at all. SAG is actually about the performances, and Denzel straight up bodies his performance. It's one of the best and least mannered portrayals of Austism at all. He deserves the nomination. He may even deserve the win, but ithat won't happen.

I can actually tell that most of the people online whining about Denzel haven't actually seen Roman J Israel, Esq. They just know that it got 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, didn't do well at the box office and started acting like sheep/lemming by taking him out of their predictions. He may be messing up your predictions because his movie hasn't got great or box office, but he's still giving an acting masterclass. Dan Gilroy may have had a sophmore slump, but the guy can at least get incredible performances out of his leading men (though Jake and Denzel are great actors to begin with, so maybe Gilroy just casts well).

I predicted Harrelson and Washington, but I changed Dench at the last minute thinking I was crazy not predicting Sally Hawkins. Little did I know they’d leave off Streep, of all people.

Nice to see The Big Sick rebound a bit, particularly after it’s no-show at the Globes. That ensemble category was Uber competitive.

I expect The Post and Phantom Thread were not widely seen amongst voting members. I firmly expect Streep and Day-Lewis to show up on Oscar morning. I have no idea what’s happening in supporting actor - that category is a mess, and I never thought that both Call Me actors would be snubbed. SAG is so populist, was Call Me By Your Name just too art-house and European for them? I hope it’s more appreciated by AMPAS.

I’m still not convinced Blige or Hunter are in with Oscar. Metcalf, Janney, and Chau seem set, but I still see Spencer getting in and maybe a last minute surprise like Lesley Manville.

Clearly THE POST just didn't screen in time, yeah? And obviously, ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD probably wasn't even wrapped by the time they'd voted. I still feel pretty confidant that Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis will replace Judi Dench and Denzel Washington come time for Oscar nominations.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME clearly did screen, which makes the omissions of Hammer and Stuhlbarg all the more surprising.

That said, I'm thrilled to see Steve Carell show up here. I thought his performance in BATTLE OF THE SEXES was one of the best I'd seen from him in years.

Hong Chau persisting over Octavia Spencer and Tiffany Haddish is surprising to me, but I'm happy to see Holly Hunter get a leg back up.

I love that all five Ensemble nominees are true ensemble-based films (although admittedly there are more ensemble films than solo/duo/trio films in the mix for Best Picture this year).

1. Timothee Chalamet, Call Me By Your Name2. James Franco, The Disaster Artist3. Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour (Any of these three wouldn't be TOO surprising a win right now, though each for different reasons. This one would be the most "business as usual" win, but critics groups aren't singling him out this year, so...I doubt the win, y'know?)4. Daniel Kaaluya, Get Out5. Tom Hanks, The Post (Three consecutive misses, after Captain Phillips and Bridge of Spies, for strong looking dramatic work is the stuff of farce. If it outgrosses Roman J. Israel, which it almost certainly will, he's in.)6. Denzel Washington, Roman J. Israel Esq. (Yeah, I'd bet this is a last gasp moment for Denzel in this, but I wouldn't say it's "impossible.")(Everyone else: Be happy with your Globe nods, if you got them.)

The Post omissions feel less like a snub, more like it didn’t screen in time. And to all those who complain about SAG’s “early” deadline for nominations, why should the organization bend over backwards to accommodate filmmakers like Steven Spielberg who routinely wait till the very last minute to release their films? Consider the whole calendar year, as they should.

SAG is a bit vanilla, and the Academy is a bit more edgy in their choices. And they’re much more receptive to Paul Thomas Anderson’s work than other awards bodies. Remember when Amy Adams and Joaquin Phoenix missed at SAG but were not forgotten at Oscar? I expect the same to happen with Day-Lewis.

Denzel has yet to be SAG nominated for a lead performance for which he also hasn't been Oscar nominated, and he's only missed an Academy nod for one performance for which he also received a Golden Globe nod (American Gangster). Things could change, but based on that history it would be foolish to count him out for Roman J. Israel, Esq. just yet.

Is "No More Drama" MJB on her way to an Oscar nom as an actress? That seems surreal.
